What I want to do in my flash animation is have that circle appear to be turning clockwise in place. The lines should be the only thing moving, not the gray circle itself. Is there any fairly easy way to do this? I'm still pretty new to flash.
Thanks!

Now animate the lines going around, maybe 2 circles, one just a completely filled gray circle, and the black would be on top of it, with the lines. Convert the black circle to a movieclip and animate it rotating above the other circle. Now select both and make it another mc.

Cosmic, you're not emailing the .fla to me are you? I'm at home right now and the email addresss on here is my work email address. If you want to email it to me you can send it to ccoomer@studio412.com if you don't want to post it on here.

That is marvelous. I did not know that a 3d effect can be mimic so simple.

I have a suggestion.

Instead of attaching these lines to _root, we may try attaching them to a dummy movieClip which stretchs the y scale to 200 and rotate 45 degree. The sizes of arc between lines would appear even better.

How would I do that? I've been having trouble trying to get those lines to look a bit better. I'm gradually learning though.
